Tony Zamazal, who says he's been wearing women's clothing as often as he can in recent months, had hoped to make a formal debut in a dress, heels and a wig at Spring High School's end-of-year dance. After asking an assistant principal if he could attend the prom in that attire, he was immediately shot down, KHOU 11 News is reporting.
"He told me it just wasn't in the dress code. [He said] women wore dresses, and men wore tuxedos," Zamazal told the news station. He went on to note, "It's not okay to just tell people, they can't be the way that they are. It's not just a choice of the way you look. It's more of who you are."
